CS4 looms; my favourite quotes from "dear adobe"

Hawken King (September 24, 2008)

With the imminent release of CS4, I take a look at the funny side of the long requested features from users of Adobe products.

Recently I found Dear Adobe. It was such a relief to find that there are literally thousands of other disgruntled creatives that work in the print and web industry that have also found this site – posing questions to adobe. Whether Adobe reads and acts upon these requests is another thing. Here are some of the funny gems:

Photoshop

- “Why does Photoshop cost as much as a pre-owned small car? Drop the price please!!”

Dreamweaver

- “Why do you build programs (Dreamweaver) based on JavaScript, which run slower than my grandmother?”

Flash

- “Yes, please support SVG in Flash player – or better yet accept the fact that open standards are the way of the future.”

Illustrator

- “I’ve been sitting here for the last 5 mins looking through all the bitching and that spinning ball of death is still going for no reason in Illustrator. ”

InDesign

- “Why can’t I Hide InDesign? I just wont go away… ”

Bridge

- “Destroy Bridge, it’s completely useless”

My only real request was tabs for all applications, which they are doing! Isometric grids for illustrator would be nice but I really don’t see it happening any time this decade.
